NB: r->tmp_buf == srv->tmp_buf (pointer is copied for quicker access)
NB: request read and write chunkqueues currently point to connection
chunkqueues; per-request and per-connection chunkqueues are
not distinct from one another
con->read_queue == r->read_queue
con->write_queue == r->write_queue
NB: in the future, a separate connection config may be needed for
connection-level module hooks. Similarly, might need to have
per-request chunkqueues separate from per-connection chunkqueues.
Should probably also have a request_reset() which is distinct from
connection_reset().
convert all log_error_write() to log_error() and pass (log_error_st *)
use con->errh in preference to srv->errh (even though currently same)
avoid passing (server *) when previously used only for logging (errh)
array_get_element_klen() is now intended for read-only access
array_get_data_unset() is used by config processing for r/w access
array_get_buf_ptr() is used for r/w access to ds->value (string buffer)
specialized buffer_eq_icase_ssn func replace strncasecmp()
in cases where string lengths are known to be at least as
large as the len being compared case-insensitively
improve FAM monitoring to use reference counting in internal cache
revalidate entries upon use after 16 sec to recover from missed events
(see comments in commit for more details about limitations)
do not open file in stat_cache_get_entry()
no longer stat() followed by open() and close() just for stat()
callers should open() file to validate readability (and then reuse fd)
fdevent_open_cloexec() opens files O_BINARY for consistency,
and with O_NONBLOCK, so that the server will not block if the
target file to open is a fifo.
quickly clear buffer instead of buffer_string_set_length(b, 0) or
buffer_reset(b). Avoids free() of large buffers about to be reused,
or buffers that are module-scoped, persistent, and reused.
(buffer_reset() should still be used with buffers in connection *con
when the data in the buffers is supplied by external, untrusted source)
provide standard types in first.h instead of base.h
provide lighttpd types in base_decls.h instead of settings.h
reduce headers exposed by headers for core data structures
do not expose <pcre.h> or <stdlib.h> in headers
move stat_cache_entry to stat_cache.h
reduce use of "server.h" and "base.h" in headers
